Use case
Block YouTube Shorts for kids
Shorts are built for endless swiping. Mom Guard removes the Shorts shelf, blocks Shorts links and turns off autoplay, so a child can still watch a full video without being pulled into a loop.
What gets blocked
The free tier hides Shorts across YouTube, controls autoplay and trims the homepage feed. Greyscale, blur until tap and daily time limits help further.
Paid plans rank every remaining item by risk and hide the worst, across all categories.
Setup in two minutes
Install the Chrome extension, pick a child profile and turn on the Shorts block. Settings can be protected with a parent PIN.
